Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 341
77. God of Fallen Angels (4)
The armory was now quite crowded with people.
These were most of the elements that made up the world, from humans to fairies, dragons, demons, and dwarves.
Many of them paid homage to Deus’ appearance.
In the beginning, many people gathered in Rosdia because of their trust with Zeke. They treated
Deus with colored glasses because he was the Demon Lord .
But now everyone was acknowledging it.
At least Deus isn’t doing this to ruin this world.
If you take away the sunglasses, Rosdia was a pretty interesting place.
“First, we should do a performance test and then praise or curse.”
The technicians of Rosdia burst into laughter at Deus’ straightforward speaking style.
Lying on the table in the center was a sword.
The shape was simple. It was a long cross.
Because it was a weapon that could change at will like the Death God of Death, its initial form was meaningless.
“Do you have an ego?”
Skatul nodded at Deus’s question.
“of course. “It is a weapon that grows by accumulating experience together with its owner.”
“Compared to the original?”
“The Four Gods Beast is a weapon created by angels according to the words of God. “With our capabilities, we cannot make a weapon of that level
.”
“That’s natural.”
“10%. In theory, it seems like it could produce that much power.”
“It’s subtle.”
“Still, it is stronger than any weapon in the human world.”
“Of course it is.”
Yulgeum urged Deus.
“Stop talking and just try it.” I miss you too. “What kind of power does the clone of the Four Gods of Death have?”
“You have an impatient personality.”
“Do you understand now?”
Deus smiled and grabbed his sword.
Shortly after that he disappeared.
The expressions slowly disappeared from the faces of those who remained.
Yulgeum, who was laughing as if saying, ‘What are you kidding me about?’ also looked at Skatool as Deus’s absence became longer.
“Is it as planned?”
“Would you mind
showing me the blueprint?”
Skatul hesitated and handed her a roll of paper.
Yulgeum unfolded the scroll. It was two spans wide and over 20 meters long.
The large paper was full of tiny letters and pictures reminiscent of a maze.
Yulgeum’s eyes moved quickly. I looked through numerous drawings. It was a huge program in itself.
Magic and technology came together to create a weapon that was close to a work of art.
Except for one place.
“Scatul.”
Skatul looked nervous at Yulgeum’s harsh voice.
” ancient.”
“This is not what you designed.”
“That…
“Depending on your answer, I might have to kill you.”
“It’s too much. “I just did my best according to my master’s orders.”
“master? “Which owner is that?”
“Yulgeum. “Are you asking that as Jin Geum-yong?”
“I really want to die.”
“I am also a small element of the world. “There is no element in the world that fears extinction.”
“I’m not the one killing you. “Do you think he
won’t come back here?”
Scatul smiled awkwardly and scratched his cheek.
At that time, ‘that guy’ was facing a being.
“Did it look like this?”
She was an old woman.
Above his wrinkled face, there were dark sunken eyelids.
The nasolabial folds around the mouth were as deep as a valley.
“What are you? Lucifer? Lucifer?”
“A name is something that others call you. “Do whatever you want.”
“Then let’s call it dog poop.”
“It was a choice.”
“You change your mind quickly. If my feelings are correct, you must be Lucifer. “The one who abandoned you must be the real devil.”
Red tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.
“I didn’t think it would be you who recognized me.”
“Don’t be too impressed. Because I haven’t really looked into it. It’s just that the situation is like that. “The guy outside
is not transparent in what he does.”
“She stole time and left.”
The reason the angel Scatul met took the form of a child was because Lucifer had lost his age.
“Wasn’t it like self-immolation?”
“An alter ego… if you put it simply, it’s like that.”
“I just felt like I was mentally ill. Raguel’s alter ego was like that too.”
“The spiritual body is not quite the same as the soul.”
“So, mental illness.”
“Aren’t you a quite high being too? “If I had followed the original path, I would have become Mahon.”
The one talking to Deus now was the same being he had met in the Karma Vortex.
Deus then called him Lucifer.
But in reality, she was closer to the main body.
“It may still be more familiar for one body and one soul to exist as if they were married. But that is a very low level of life. Even angels do not have bodies.
They exist as semi-independent intelligent beings whose boundaries are limited only by the light of the spirit body. They are many yet one, one yet many. “Just as cells form one body, angels form one angel.”
“Do you feel a little bad?”
“Vigilance leads to exclusion, and exclusion leads to mutual destruction.”
“Aren’t words and actions different? “In fact, you angels are the ones who reject everything.”
“is it?”
“Who was it that chased after the angular stone and made love to it?”
“Are you not free enough?”
“Did you?”
“If you had decided to cut it in the bud, you wouldn’t be where you are today.”
Deus smiled bitterly.
“Aren’t you just busy? “Nowadays, it is a topic that is being pulled up by the roots rather than the buds.”
I raised both my hands.
The pattern on the back of my hand disappeared. The two evil spirits, Hyeonmu and Baekho, have already
left his side and returned to their original owners.
The one who created the Death God Beast was Lucifer.
It was the old woman in front of me.
“It was too much power for you from the beginning.”
“I agree to a certain extent, but… it’s a shame it’s gone. “What should we do with Nezar now?”
“He is not the person you should deal with. “An army of angels will eliminate it.”
“Anyway. So why did you suddenly decide to come forward?”
“Aren’t you the one who woke me up and no one else?”
” me?”
“By rejecting karma, I woke up from my sweet sleep and summoned the spirit body that had been sealed in the karma vortex.”
“Oh, was it me too? “I’m sorry.”
“Even if it wasn’t you, you would have woken up sooner or later. “It seems like the last experiment also ended in failure.”
“You mean human?”
“You are now quite close to the truth of the world.”
“Are you talking about not using demons to prevent human extinction?”
The old woman nodded slowly.
Perhaps due to her mood, her wrinkles became slightly lighter.
“Man was driven out of Eden.”
“Eden? “A mythical paradise?”
“Eden is Earth. “Humans were eventually kicked out of the Earth.”
“here is’?”
“The continent of Jose is not Earth. “It’s an artificial environment that we created.”
“Well, strictly speaking, that’s true, but…
“Harmony and order. It is true that species that cannot understand the huge flow will be eliminated. Nevertheless, we gave them two chances.”
“So you’re going to cull us now?”
“Wait, number 2? The Age of Gold and the Age of Silver. What is this time of chaos?”
“Is it right to give a third chance? Or isn’t that right?”
“Have you had a meeting for 666 centuries?”
“We were curious. “What is a human being?”
“Well, humans are humans.”
“Is it worth surviving? “Is there a reason to exist as one among countless universes?”
Deus looked at Lucifer blankly.
“But you’re speaking in a bit of a tone… Deus trailed off.
A sudden thought sent a shiver through my body.
Probably not.
Probably not.
“No way… you are not gods, are you?”
Lucifer laughed.
Suddenly, all traces of the old age completely disappeared from her face.
The young, beautiful, black-haired witch answered Deus’ question back.
“What is God?”
“He•…
“The creator of this world? There is no such thing. Even if it exists, it would be so large that we would not be able to recognize it. A being that created this universe by exploding an immeasurable mass tens of billions of years ago. “Who can understand that power?”
“Then what are you?”
“Didn’t you hear from Yulgeum?”
“Gods…
“Little gods. The boundaries of spirit disappeared and we merged. If you stare into the forest on a dark night, before you know it, we will be staring at you. We were caught in deep, dark waters and a fire burning an entire mountain. At first, they called it a spirit, but soon it was revered as a god.”
“Are you the wills of this planet?”
“The will of the stars. star soul. Whatever the name is, it’s fine. But
it’s not amazing. I told you. They say they are souls that dwell in small stones and insignificant grass. We began to understand harmony and order and merged together. “One was an infinitely fragile piece, but it finally gained strength by becoming a forest and a mountain.”
The first gods of this land.
It was said that angels were originally gods of small regions.
Metatron was the god of the Middle East and Kamael was the god of the North.
Is the god of the world a collection of smaller gods?
If so, it makes sense.
God exists, but it is not easy to understand him.
Because it wasn’t a single personality.
It was natural for Raguel to feel confused.
There was also a difference in rank between angels in the Old Testament. The other faces of God and his servants.
The angels of the New Testament were created angels. They don’t know what God is. Because we are only meeting through an oracle.
Deus looked at Lucifer again.
Then, her eyes turned to the two animals crouching next to her.
A turtle with a snake’s head and a white tiger. It was Hyeonmu and Baekho.
“So it’s a lie to say that we have to go to another world?”
“No, not really. we can hear A voice calling us from far away. Just trying to chase it. There’s no telling what lies beyond. Maybe it’s just a quasar. “The trembling of a star that gives off a human voice.”
Babel
was just a machine with such an ambiguous future.
That’s why even the angels were neglected.
If it was truly an important machine with the future of humanity at stake, there was no way the angels would have left it like that.
Deus clicked his tongue briefly.
“Tsk, it was all in vain.”
“it is not so. You played an important role in that alone because you gathered the scattered Death God Beasts and delivered them to me. The power you have is enough to become the god of demons. What is it like? “To act as their guardian on my behalf.”
“Drank?”
“It is to escape the fate of Demiurge and carry on the name of Lucifer.”
“Are you planning to return to Lucifer?”
“Yes.”
“Doesn’t that seem like a one-sided contract that only benefits that side?”
“Behind that frivolous tone, you must be calculating fiercely.”
“Yes, but…
“What are you suspecting?”
“How will that offer benefit you?”
“It’s not for my benefit.
It is to our benefit. “The moment you realize harmony, it will benefit you too.”
Deus crossed his arms.
“Well, these are interesting stories. “It was also refreshing to hear that there is no God in the world.”
“Would you accept the offer?”
“Become Lucifer?”
“okay.”
“No, I don’t want to do that. I don’t want to be a demon lord, so there’s no way I can become a demon god when I’ve beaten him.”
“is it.”
Disappointment flashed in her eyes.
